Corset Cabaret: Keep Caring Ball

Get ready to strut, shine, and show your support at the Keep Caring Ball on Thursday, October 3 at the historic Cortland Corset Building. Hosted by the legendary House of Royale from Syracuse, this vibrant evening blends fashion, performance, and community care in a celebration like no other. Doors open at 8 p.m. for guests 18 and older, with a suggested donation of $10 at the door. Expect dazzling live ballroom presentations, performances, and special guest judges, plus the chance to take the runway yourself—no experience needed, just bring your confidence (and maybe a costume for the Halloween Runway category!). Compete or cheer for categories like Body, Halloween Runway, and Performance, and don’t miss the silent auction featuring a one-of-a-kind bedazzled Cortland corset along with prizes for winners. Whether you’re voguing, cheering from the sidelines, or simply soaking in the energy, the Keep Caring Ball is your chance to celebrate creativity, inclusivity, and community—because when we gather, we keep caring.
